My pet peeve is that a lot of people who have never studied an hour of philosophy think that this is what people who study philosophy do. "Anyone can sit around thinking about things all day" is like saying "anybody can sit and press keys on a keyboard all day". I took a semester of philosophy at uni, perhaps the best invested time during my years there and by far more demanding than most of what followed. 100 % recommend it for anyone who wants to hone their critical reasoning skills and intellectual development in general.
